had this skin condition for a while now. I never paid it much attention due to having long hair and it not hurting, just itched every now and then. after recently shaving my head ive realised its worse than i thought. any ideas ?image

    Looks like eczema or a fungal infection.

    Yes,looks fungal. Try Nizoral shampoo for several weeks. If that doesnt help look for a dandruff shampoo with Selenium Sulphide as the active ingredient. As you have had it for some time you may need to persevere with different dandruff shampoos.If its no better when this Covid virus finally disappears then go to your doctor. They wont see you at the moment.
